Now, this is what I call a story! Elegant and cool! I can safely say that the story has picked up really well when we are towards the climax. This is Dahan Kand! The fifth installment of the Nagayan series! I won’t disclose the story here as it is seriously full of suspense this time. But what I must mention here is that reading this particular title gives you the idea of what Anupam Sinha is capable of (I am hugely disappointed the way he is handling Super Commando Dhruv’s solos and wish he will take him in notice).
In this title you will find that groups are being made, heads are being scratched, secrets begin to disclose. The stage is all set for the big war to begin. Don’t miss this one out. Speaking of Artwork, it’s really good and so is the binding of the book. A great Hard Cover with an equally great cover page. Mr. Sinha has done a really great job. The only thing I didn’t like is that a good artwork is sometimes ruined by huge dialog balloons. Now, if RC is increasing the rates of the comics, I won’t mind. I am ready for an 80/- digest with 100 pages so that there is more space for Mr. Sinha and I get to enjoy both the story and the artwork. One more point I would like to make here is that RC should seriously think to translate this series in English too. That will help a lot for new readers who live in other countries and don’t understand english.
I would advice the readers to grab this one up as soon as they can. For now, I an eagerly waiting for Rann Kaand and Samar Kaand to release. And for those who missed any of previous parts, I am giving the links of previous issues of Nagayan in eComics format which are available at RC’s website(Hard Copies also avaiable at Raj Comics Store) . Mark my words – “If you miss any of these you are going to miss an epic of lifetime”

The comic was good, but not great.
I am the few people who did not understand the hype.
Maybe if i read all issues in order, because it has been a while since i read sharan kand. The delay, really messes up the fun.
Please do not do this Raj comics.

I agree that the long delay kills that craze Ajay, I think you should read the complete series when all seven are published back to back… And yeah, Raj Comics should try to be punctual in the future…

I disagree with you…. to me dahankand is most disappointing in the series, as exceptation are getting higher, all the twist and turns in this one seems to be inspired by saas bahu serials, (all those lost son and out of closet Mummy’s). There is nothing susprising or great about the story and RC is stretching the plot ridiculously long. 2 thumbs down for dahankand

I really think whole Naagayan series is a pile f shit. it’s more of a saas bahu serial with that family drama coming in between and the story has become more complex in a bad way and there are at time running 4-6 parallel stories. It’s Like every time you turn 4 pages the whole set up has changed
